Facebook Relents on TOS Change - For Now

Terms of Use Update

A couple of weeks ago, we posted an update to our Terms of Use that we hoped would clarify some parts of it for our users. Over the past couple of days, we have received a lot of questions and comments about these updated terms and what they mean for people and their information. Because of the feedback we received, we have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve the issues that people have raised. For more information, visit the Facebook Blog.

The last sentence was there until just a second ago - now the blog itself is missing. Whatever, they gave up, temporarily.

Update: The ever-changing non-denial denial, er, clarification:

Over the past few days, we have received a lot of good feedback about
the new terms we posted two weeks ago. Because of this response, we
have decided to return to our previous Terms of Use while we resolve
the issues that people have raised.

Almost there, dudes. Try to get someone involved in drafting your response who isn't pissed off at your members for, like, noticing shit.
